It's the first Google result for 'unofficial apt sources' in case you
lose the URL.  It's more or less the canonical list for non-Debian apt
repositories.

As was mentioned before, the KDE3 transition is being delayed for the
gcc 3.2 transition (so the packages don't have to be compiled twice
each).  GNOME 2 should now be in unstable and should be making its way
to testing soon.  To see what's keeping a package out of testing when
it's already in unstable, see
<http://ftp-master.debian.org/testing/update_excuses.html>.  (First
Google result for update_excuses.)
